We’ve published several updates to our KMM open source libraries. Here’s the post: https://touchlab.co/open-source-updates/

How Kotlin null-safety works, and how can we deal with nullable values? You’ll find all about Nullability in #Kotlin in this article written by @marcinmoskala: 📄 https://kt.academy/article/kfde-nullability Complete book ⤵️ 📕 https://kt.academy/book/kotlin_essentials This book was reviewed by: Owen Griffiths, Nicola Corti, Endre Deak, Matthias Schenk Emanuele Papa Grigory Pletnev and Roman Kamyshnikov. Thank you!

Updated with many components in JetPack compose. Check it out. https://github.com/SimformSolutionsPvtLtd/SSComposeCookBook

🔴 I'm streaming some some basic Ktor development and doing some chill Q&A at https://twitch.tv/sebi_io, so if you wanna join me or ask some questions to a Kotlin Developer Advocate at JetBrains, come tune in and say hi 😄

FModel v3.4.0 has been released. For more information take a look at https://github.com/fraktalio/fmodel/releases/tag/v3.4.0. FModel is a set of Kotlin multiplatform libraries optimized for EventSourcing, CQRS and DomainModeling.

🔴 Yesterday went really well and we had a lot of fun with quite an interactive Q&A, so I'm back for another session of casual Ktor+Coroutines dev at https://twitch.tv/sebi_io. Come hang out, say hi, and ask any kind of Kotlin questions to a Kotlin Dev Advocate if you have any! I'm very good at getting sidetracked, so it's the perfect setting for whatever Kotlin things you have on your mind!

🔴 We did some fun stuff on yesterday's stream, including interesting tangents like the

zally

API validator, some discussions about StateFlow, refactored and discussed the architecture of our little Ktor app, and went on some wildly fun tangents. If that sounds interesting to you, come tune in today and see what's in store – or ask your questions to a JetBrainer & Kotlin Dev Advocate! There's gonna be Compose and Ktor, I can already promise that much! ktorK https://www.twitch.tv/sebi_io

New KDoctor release! • new feature: development team ids for iOS applications (run

kdoctor --team-ids

). 🍎 • implemented instant reporting during diagnostic runs (with cool animations in a terminal). ✨ • added a diagnostic to analyze the synthetic gradle project for finding the configuration issues (run

kdoctor -a

). 🎉 • added a diagnostic to analyze a user project (run

kdoctor -a

inside a gradle project root directory). 👤 • removed dependency on

libcurl

. ⚡ • lot of bug fixes and polishing. 🪛 https://github.com/Kotlin/kdoctor/releases/tag/v1.0.0

For the last time this week, I'm gonna be live with another chill Q&A session and some Kotlin coding! If you'd like to ask any kind of questions to a Kotlin Dev Advocate, feel free to join! We're actually also gonna talk about the new KDoctor release that was posted in this channel, since I made a contribution to that release! 😄🎉 https://twitch.tv/sebi_io

👋 hey, we’ve just released a first preview version of the Sentry Kotlin Multiplatform SDK with support for the JVM, Android and Apple targets https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-kotlin-multiplatform. If you’re already using other Sentry mobile sdks, the KMM sdk might look not that feature-rich, but it should contain all of the core functionality for enriched crash reporting to work. Please let us know if you have any feedback/feature requests through github issues. Cheers!

This repo contains all the Open-source Libraries from iOS, Android, Flutter and React-Native.✨ https://github.com/SimformSolutionsPvtLtd/Awesome-Mobile-Libraries

One of my best yet I think

We built a code-first API catalog & developer hub. Right now, we're focussed on Spring + Kotlin dev exp. Would love feedback! Parts of this are open source now, and working to open source the rest, if there's sufficient interest. https://orbitalhq.com/blog/2023-03-13-spring-boot-service-hub

This article is about property delegation, what it is, how it works, and how can we implement our custom property delegate. 📃 https://kt.academy/article/ak-property-delegation Curious to know more about advanced features in Kotlin? @marcinmoskala explains everything related to it in his latest book 📕 https://leanpub.com/advanced_kotlin/

Apply to Google Summer of Code – Kotlin Projects Available Kotlin is taking part in Google Summer of Code (GSoC) for the first time! GSoC is a global online stipend program focused on bringing new contributors into open-source software development. This is an excellent opportunity to work on a 12-week programming project with the Kotlin Foundation under the guidance of mentors from Google, JetBrains, and […]

Did you know that Kotlin can smart-cast a variable in response to calling your own functions? In this video, we'll use Kotlin's experimental Contracts feature to make that happen.

Sometimes a little rust is a good thing! Here's a recipe I made for generating Kotlin bindings to call Rust in your Android app. https://sal.dev/android/intro-rust-android-uniffi/

🔴 I'm back for another hang-out session! If you'd like to have some chill Q&A with a Kotlin Dev Advocate from JetBrains, you know where to find me! 😄 We're probably going to peek into some Kotlin/Native related stuff today – including a look under the hood at

kdoctor

, and probably play around with some more Ktor on Kotlin/Native! https://twitch.tv/sebi_io

Hello, I would like to share an article I wrote about how to utilize Apple’s CryptoKit library within a Kotlin Multiplatform shared module using the Swift Klib Gradle plugin. This approach may be helpful if you are concerned about using third-party cryptographic libraries for security reasons. https://dev.to/ttypic/going-swiftly-using-a-swift-only-libraries-in-your-kotlin-multiplatform-app-1ml9

Starting with performance testing of your application with Gatling using Kotlin for writing the scenarios: https://link.medium.com/LHseks3Knyb

Shout-Out to Kotlin Multiplatform Content Creators! Kotlin Multiplatform is steadily progressing toward Stable, and the technology’s ecosystem is continuing to expand and mature. None of this would be possible without the community’s contributions. In order to celebrate the community’s creation of articles, videos, and samples, we regularly run the Kotlin Multiplatform Content Creators Recognition Campaign. Today, we would like to share […]

Hey, for a while I’ve been working on a solution that will allow to use cryptography primitives in Kotlin Multiplatform without the need to write cryptography algorithms from scratch (and so maintain and fight with bugs) Finally, I have something well enough to share :) Introducing cryptography-kotlin: Type-safe Multiplatform cryptography library for Kotlin https://twitter.com/why_oleg/status/1638826882174005251 Library provides multiplatform API which consists of multiple components: • Secure random with kotlin.Random like API which can be used independently of other modules • common API to use different cryptography operations, like ciphers, digests and signatures • multiple algorithms definitions, like AES, RSA, ECDSA and SHA • multiple cryptography providers, like OpenSSL, WebCrypto and JDK Release notes: https://github.com/whyoleg/cryptography-kotlin/releases/tag/0.1.0

We published a new tutorial on how to deploy Kotlin desktop apps that use JCEF to embed Chromium. It uses Conveyor to cross-build self-updating fully signed/notarized packages for every OS, with Chromium bundled into the app. It's easy! If you ever wanted an "Electron for Kotlin" then this is it. You can also combine it with Swing UI and there's experimental support for Compose Multiplatform too. https://hydraulic.software/blog/13-deploying-apps-with-jcef.html

Hey everyone 👋, Exited to share Typster, a typing game built using desktop compose. It's been a really fun journey while building this up. Leaned about game loop, audio streams and many other essentials things around jvm and desktop environment. Do check it out guys :) Github - https://github.com/abhinav12k/Typster
